got rid of GM diesel info

there was info about an upcoming GM diesel engine and I deleted it. This article is on gasoline engines, NOT diesel... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.85.55.206 (talk) 14:39, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Later systems

I went ahead and altered the additional information about Ford's DI system.

• While Ford made a press release concerning their direct injection system in 2001, it did not enter the marketplace until 2003. (correct me if I'm wrong)
• Bringing up concept vehicles is trivial to the scope of this article.
• Removed the EcoBoost main page redirect, all the other engines are highlighted.
• For consistency I grouped the Ford products with each other.

Also I believe without the modifications that portion of the article becomes biased towards Ford's products. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.65.224.246 (talk) 17:28, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

In 2001 Ford released materials including information of a 1.1-liter engine under testing equipped with DI. All dates in that section pertain to the manufactures release of the technology to the marketplace. http://media.ford.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=9493 Ford released their system to the marketplace in 2003. 69.65.224.246 (talk)

I beg to differ, concept vehicles is the best way to demonstrate product development. Isn't trivial. Redirect isn't main article. Chronologically do as well consistency. Biased there's not, all modifications about Ford engines representation of factual information. Please do not remove referenced information from articles. Thank you. --Tomcha (talk) 19:30, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

This is not a Ford specific article, no need to mention a 2001 Ford engine that was not in production. And no need to specifically single out the EcoBoost engine. Ford's concept vehicles are already discussed in Ford specific pages which again this article is not. Thanks 69.65.224.246 (talk)

Need to mention that a system conception is primary for objective facts of all developments, direct injection. --Tomcha (talk) 16:24, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

The article clearly pertains to production engines, not everything bit of Ford minutiae. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.65.224.246 (talk) 22:56, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

You are wrong. Please do not remove relevant referenced fact from articles. Thank you. --Tomcha (talk) 18:43, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Ford doesn't build a production 3-cyl engine. this isn't an article to detail Ford concepts and non-production engines. 69.65.224.246 (talk) 07:12, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

All right, concepts engines. Please do not assume ownership of articles. If you aren't willing to allow your contributions to be edited extensively or be redistributed by others, please do not submit them. Thank you. --Tomcha (talk) 20:19, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

not assuming ownership, none of the other editors have ever attempted to include any manufactures concept cars or non production engines, or focus on any single manufacturer so heavily adding any bit of trivial information, there is zero relevance in a general DI article to include engines from concept vehicles. Again please do not remove tags without discussion. 69.65.224.246 (talk) 20:32, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

also it has been pointed out to you in the Ford EcoBoost engine article that the Bobcat engine isn't a two-stroke engine, yet you choose to revert factual edits. That and all the bits of Ford information you are adding to this article can already be found in that same article. 69.65.224.246 (talk) 20:38, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

V8 EcoBoost (Bobcat) is a two-stroke engine, uses E85 injection and gasoline injection. --Tomcha (talk) 20:45, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
